Jive!

The Ernies

Well, I thought about the scene a lot and I've come to the 
conclusion, back in the day we used to admit to the 
confusion that exists between real styles and illusion, but
 I must tell you if you think that we are losin our honesty
 because we are bustin' out like confusions on those of you
 who think that you are choosin the right of way because 
you hear it everyday, well turn off your radio turn it off 
all the way. We're not ska-core, reggae, jazz, we're not 
hip hop or rock or pop, you know we won't stop groovin', 
it's like a thing called Jive!, you mix it up and keep the 
people satisfied no need to classify or nullify the claims 
that say we're insane, so to pacify those of you who need a
 label call it what you want I know you'll kick it if 
you're able.
We call it Jive!
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that we're special just 
cuz our sound is not that commercial, or maybe it is, maybe
 that's not for me to say, but I've seen less honest music 
everyday, just like our soundless souls that are sold on 
the radio melodramatic lyrics made up like Fabio, they hide
 reality in a well made allusion to a world where the real 
is illusion.

Well, I remember the times we used to hit downtown Richmond
 got kicked out the Metro, me and my Blind Jeans, my Indy 
hat ended up on the street and I went back for a smoke in 
my Capri. Back then is when we used to swang, rankin, and 
skankin was the thang until the music scene back home sold 
out, that's when me and my crew decided to show them what 
it's all about for the old skool we were late, we put down 
the skates, started grabbin' guitars horns drums and the 
bass kickin it live inside the garage hittin' them with a 
lyrical barrage but it's like we're trippin' tips shit got 
drastically of a sudden , the need to play bombastically, 
we lost sight of what is real it took us this long to get 
back on the reel to reel.
